Ocean House lines up Relais & Châteaux chef collaboration in Watch Hill

Ocean House will host Twin Farms and Manoir Hovey for a two-night chef collaboration at COAST on Nov. 13-14, 2026, in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. The six-course dinner brings together chefs from three Relais & Châteaux properties and pairs regionally inspired menus with an optional wine program.

Why it matters: - The dinner connects three Relais & Châteaux properties from Rhode Island, Vermont and Québec in one exclusive tasting menu. - The event highlights Ocean House’s push to position COAST as a destination for high-end, place-driven dining. - The collaboration gives diners a rare chance to taste how three different culinary regions interpret local ingredients in one sitting.

What happened: - Ocean House will host a two-night chef collaboration at COAST on Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. - Ocean House Chef de Cuisine Connor Pearl and Group Executive Chef Terence Feury will cook with Twin Farms Chef de Cuisine Sylvain Courbet and Manoir Hovey Chef Alexandre Vachon. - Dinner seatings will run from 5:30 to 9 p.m. each night. - The event takes place at COAST at Ocean House, 1 Bluff Avenue, Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

The details: - The menu starts with a trio of canapés and continues through six collaborative courses. - Planned dishes include a Manoir Hovey bluefin tuna tartlet, Twin Farms fried chicken with caviar, foie gras torchon with lingonberry and brioche feuilleté, chitarra with local shellfish and Gorria peppers, Ocean House tautog with sunchoke and black olive, and Vermont Wagyu striploin with potato purée and pickled shallot. - The meal ends with a Twin Farms cheese course and Ocean House’s chocolate flan pâtissier with fig, maple mousse and vanilla-black peppercorn ice cream. - The dinner costs $245 per person, plus tax and gratuity. - An optional $175 wine pairing includes Krug Champagne, Domaine Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec, Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore, Meursault, Hermitage, Madeira and vintage Port. - Reservations are required through OpenTable. - Complimentary valet parking will be available. - More information is available through Ocean House culinary experiences and Ocean House reservations and details.

Between the lines: - The menu is built around three distinct culinary identities: coastal Rhode Island, rural Vermont and Québec’s Eastern Townships. - Feury said the dinner is meant to express place through ingredient-driven cooking and create a one-time collaborative experience. - Connor Pearl brings experience from Alinea, Smyth, Ever and Elske in Chicago, plus a New England background that shapes his approach at COAST. - Feury has overseen Ocean House culinary operations since 2023 and has worked at Le Bernardin and restaurants in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and Newport. - Courbet’s cooking reflects Vermont agriculture and cheesemaking traditions after years of travel and work abroad. - Vachon’s cuisine at Manoir Hovey emphasizes Québec terroir, sustainability and local producers.

What's next: - Ocean House will stage the collaboration only on these two November evenings. - The event may set a template for more cross-property chef dinners tied to the Relais & Châteaux network. - Guests can follow Ocean House updates on Instagram and Facebook at @OceanHouseRI.

The bottom line: - This is a tightly limited, high-end dinner that turns three Relais & Châteaux kitchens into one menu for two nights only.
